Teaching methods -

Food product knowledge is a theoretically focused subject, but it connects theoretical knowledge with teaching material - a database of presented foods/commodities, for which the discussed quality differences can be practically demonstrated in class. This allows active participation of students and increases their interest in the lesson. For the presented commodities: bakery and confectionery products, pasta, non-alcoholic beverages (coffee, tea and coffee products), meat and meat products, edible fats and oils, fruit and fruit products, products that have been available in the market for a long time are selected and the quality characteristics required by legislation and discussed in lectures are demonstrated on them. Evaluation forms for selected foods are prepared in the application for sensory analysis available to us. The forms can be uploaded very easily during the lesson by reading the QR code with common electronic devices, including mobile phones, and they can be filled in immediately and the group results evaluated.
